[Eating disorders and suicide attempts in 2 dance students].

BACKGROUND: Young ballet dancers constitute a risk group for anorexia and bulimia but suicide attempts have not been reported in this group. CASE REPORTS: Two girls, aged 16 and 15 years, respectively, were admitted for suicide attempts. Both were students in a ballet school and have been previously treated for anorexia nervosa. One of them was depressed and the other had hysterical manifestations. CONCLUSION: Psychological monitoring should be systematic in young athletic subjects of high-level performances.

Complications of bereavement as seen in infant anorexia and adolescent anorexia nervosa.

In a certain number of cases, parents of infant and adolescent anorexics may exhibit complications of bereavement. Both infant and adolescent forms of anorexic symptoms constitute indeed two distinct pathologies. Sometimes, however, these two forms of anorexic symptoms share points in common, namely a psychopathological aspect. Making references to two clinical cases, the authors show that difficulties in the mourning process may in fact play a key role in the constitution of anorexic symptoms.

[Considerations on the diagnosis of infantile anorexia].

Authors propose a review of the international literature on infantile anorexia nervosa. They show that a nasographical consensus is far from being reached although this trouble occurs very frequently. They suggest classification axes which should be considered before research criteria that be used in a unified nosology.

[Adolescent and child anorexia: various possible common elements].

Based on their clinical experience, the authors investigate the possible links between early-age anorexia and adolescent anorexia. Although it is not common to find these two types of anorexia in the same person, the occurrence is found indeed. More often, anorexia at an early age has been described as occurring in offsprings of mothers who themselves had presented anorectic behaviors, either at an early age or in adolescence. The authors question the possible role of the psychopathology of mourning in the genesis of anorectic symptoms. They then proceed to some more general considerations on object relations observed in these cases. They suggest that a lack of integration of a satisfactory object relation may breed disturbances in relations and in symbolization of the type frequently observed in the semiology of early age or adolescent anorexia.
